Guest Guest6235 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Didn't really know where to put this so as it's to do with spelling I've put it in Education. I've seen a few people putting a Z in words where we in the UK use an S on such words like realise and apologise. I can't remember from the last time I was in OZ and probably didn't take much notice but is the spelling in Australia like in America? as that will be something else to adjust to.

Druid Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Unless it's Aussie slang, then it's queens English all round, but the Aussies are lazy and do tend to shorten every word if possible , remember Australia us still part of the commonwealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar374 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 As far as I know its just the Americans that are lazy when it comes to these things. All of us still in the commonwealth do it right. Just thinking about it, it would be a nightmare moving to America and having to unlearn to spell.

Guest Guest6235 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Cheers, it was only a query as I've seen some on here put the 'Z' which made my wife and I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 They probably have their spell check set up as English us rather than English uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
